When we recite structured or formal prayers such as the Our Father, it is easy to say them perfunctorily while the mind is thinking about something else. Once, while I was praying the Divine Mercy Chaplet right in front of a small Divine Mercy image hanging on a wall at home, I closed my eyes and focused on praying it from my very soul. The closeness of the Lord that I felt right there and then has been unforgettable to this day. Therefore, when you pray, take your time and mean what you say, and the Lord will reward you for it. We reap what we sow.
